BOYZ MAGAZINE INTERVIEW, FEB 8, 2003We know you"re a gay icon, but are you a lesbian icon? A lot of people think I"m gay. I don"t know why, I don"t think I come across as being gay... It"s weird. I kissed a girl once and I didn"t like it at all. In America, for some reason everyone"s bi.I was in this club really bored and miserable, and I wasn"t drinking because I was the designated driver, and my brother"s drunk friend stuck her tongue down my throat and I just did not like it. It just wasn"t my thing. Were you ever tempted to do the whole LA-kid-boob-job-at-14 kind of thing? I"d get a boob job because I hate my tits. They"re boring, too small. Or I"d even get a breast reduction just so you don"t have to wear a bra. I"m not a big tit person. What about the short-skirts-and-midriff thing? Oh God, I"d never, ever. It"s so not my thing. I don"t think I could make sure I'd sit with my legs closed and shave my legs. What did you see of yourself in The Osbournes that you cringed at? Drunk! It was fucking awful. It stopped me from ever wanting to drink again. I"m like the ‘violent, abusive, loud, everyone hates you because you"re drunk" drunk. My mouth is ten times worse, and I"ll just do things that are insane. Last time I was in New York, I fell asleep in the doorway waiting for my friend to come out of a club. I"m just not a good drunk. I always end up getting in trouble for it or hurting someone by accident. Do people think of your act as another manufactured pop thing? In a way it is. I mean, I wouldn"t be doing it if it wasn"t for the show and my father. Today"s society is obsessed with seeing struggle. If you"d come from a fucking poverty family, then people don"t look down on you. But once you get up there, it"s equally as hard to keep it going. What do you think of Pop Idol? I think it"s just a bunch of shit. That fucking Simon guy is just a fake asshole. It wouldn"t surprise me if he had an earpiece with someone else telling him what to say. It"s just so stupid. It"s great if it gives kids the opportunity to do something they really want to do, but who"s to say you"re no better than anyone else because you"ve got some English twat with an attitude telling you that you suck? How did you first feel when you were told there were going to be cameras in your house? I was like, ‘Wicked! I"m going to be on MTV!" Does it mean you get foxy cameramen in your bedroom? Everybody who works at MTV is gay, seriously. Every single male on the crew is gay. A straight man couldn"t make those kind of shows. No sense of humour. Most of my friends are gay. Have you ever seen a gay porn film? Probably. My friend who I"m going to move in with is so gay, and he always has that sort of stuff round the house. What"s your problem with Christina Aguilera? My thing on her is that she has a beautiful voice, an insane voice, she"s very pretty and she has the opportunity to be very classy, but she ruins herself by putting the most ridiculous make-up on and the most ridiculous outfits that aren"t even well thought-out. She"s just got a really bad attitude towards everything, and she"s not a nice person. Have you met her? Yeah, she came up to me and she said, ‘Why are you talking about me?" I thought that was really cool and decided not to say anything about her after that. She was really ridiculous though. She was like, ‘Artist for artist, yo". I thought, ‘First of all, you"re really, really white and secondly, stop putting orange stuff on your skin. What are you doing?" If I"d actually said that to her she probably would have slapped me. She"s really trailer-trashy. If you"re going to come from The Mickey Mouse Club and do soundtracks for Disney movies, kids like you, so you can"t be naked and humping air in a video because what is that to kids? What"s the worst thing you"ve ever read about yourself? It"s always people that don"t know me, so it doesn"t matter. For example, that twat who manages Westlife, Louis something [that"d be Walsh] wrote this thing saying ‘I hate Kelly Osbourne". He used the word ‘hate" so many times, but he doesn"t hate me, he doesn"t know me. I mean, how old is he? He"s got to be 60, he"s old, he"s disgusting. For him to bash an 18 year-old girl is just insane. Is your look important to you? I"m a clothes whore. I always shop, it"s so bad. I can"t walk past a store without going in. Do you worry about whether you look big or small or sexy or whatever? I don"t think I"m a very sexy person. I think people develop that sexy look because they"re insecure, and they think that if they puff their lips out, people will look at them and go, ‘Oh, they"re hot." I don"t need to do that. Have you had therapy? Everyone in America goes to therapy, and I tried it once and I fucking hated it. Why do I want to sit there and talk to some twat who doesn"t even know me about my problems? |
